Summary:
- The article discusses a rule relaxation for Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) systems in power plants in India. FGD systems are used to remove sulfur dioxide from the exhaust gases of power plants.
- The relaxation of the FGD rule is expected to reduce the cost of electricity generation by 25-30 paise (around $0.003-$0.004) per unit, making electricity more affordable for consumers.
- This change in regulation is aimed at supporting the power sector and reducing the financial burden on power producers, which can ultimately benefit the end-users of electricity.
